FRONT SUSPENSION
Inspection
1. Make sure that the fork protectors and dust seals
are clean and not packed with mud and dirt.
2. Check for signs of oil leakage. Damaged or leaking
fork seals should be replaced before your CR is
ridden.

•
If any suspension components appear worn or
damaged, consult your authorized Honda dealer
for further inspection. The suspension components
are directly safety-related and your authorized
Honda dealer is qualified to determine whether or
not replacement parts or repairs are needed.
•
Contact your Honda dealer for repair of any steer-
ing or front suspension wear or damage.
•
Do not operate the motorcycle with loose, worn or
damaged steering or front suspension components,
as handling will be adversely affected.
NOTE:
•
When your CR is new, break it in for approximately
one hour to ensure that the suspension has worked
in (page 3).
•
After break-in, test run your CR with the front
suspension at the standard setting before attempt-
ing any adjustments.
•
For optimum fork performance, we recommend
that you disassemble and clean the fork after riding
your CR for three hours. See page 62 for fork
disassembly.
•
Replace the fork oil every three races or 7.5 hours of
running. See Section 6 for oil capacity adjust-
ment after changing the fork oil.
•
Use Pro Honda HP Fork Oil 5W or an equivalent
which contains special additives to assure maxi-
mum performance of your CR’s front suspension.
•
Periodically check and clean all front suspension
parts to assure top performance. Check the dust
seals for dust, dirt, and foreign materials. Check the
oil for any contamination.
•
Refer to Section 6 for Suspension Adjustment in-
formation. Make all rebound and compression
damping adjustments in one-click increments. (Ad-
justing two or more clicks at a time may cause you
to pass over the best adjustment.) Test ride after
each adjustment.
•
If you become confused about adjustment settings,
return to the standard position and start over.
•
If the fork is still too stiff/soft after adjusting com-
pression damping, determine which portion of the
travel is still too stiff/soft. This is an important step
that will help you solve suspension problems.
See page 70 for front suspension adjustment.
NOTE:
•
Install the wear ring with its end gap facing rear-
ward.

4. Make a quick check of fork operation by locking the
front brake and pushing down on the handlebar
several times.
